(KLZA)--The Falls City Board of Education heard an update on SENCAP and DC Advantage Dual Credit program opportunities for Falls City High School students when they met Monday evening.
Guidance Counselor, Sara Barker and members of the senior class provided information on how students can earn college credits while still in high school. The program is in partnership with Southeast Community College and SENCAP / DC Advantage which allows the students an opportunity to earn college credit through Career Academies.
Through this program, it is not uncommon for Falls City High Seniors to graduate with 28 – 32 college credit hours earned before beginning their freshman year of college.
The Board also approved a number of policy reviews and revisions on final reading. Included was a policy on school employees transporting students. School employees are not allowed to use their personal vehicle to transport students except for those students residing in the employee's own household or if an emergency exists. Also approved was a policy concerning resignations of certificated staff, encouraging staff members to submit their resignations as early as possible, to enable the board to find suitable replacements.
Also approved on final reading was a policy on selection and review of library materials.
